Microsoft has been working to support Mac keyboard shortcuts, and it has been experimenting with button placement so its browser looks and feels like a Mac app.

Microsoft is also adding in Touch Bar support, with options for media control sliders and the ability to switch tabs from the Touch Bar.

Microsoft also just announced new privacy controls for Edge and a new Collections feature for collecting images, text, and general notes from the web.
